Ánnámáret Ensemble

Ánnámáret Ensemble is led by Anna Näkkäläjärvi-Länsman, a musician from the Arctic indigenous community of the Sámi. The ensemble has released two notable albums: **Beallječiŋat** in 2011 and **Gollehelmmot** in 2016. These albums feature traditional Sámi yoik, a form of vocal music, combined with original compositions and lyrics written by Näkkäläjärvi-Länsman in the Sámi language. The ensemble's music is deeply rooted in Sámi culture and the Arctic landscape, reflecting Näkkäläjärvi-Länsman's upbringing between two cultures.

Ánnámáret's work is characterized by its connection to the natural beauty of Sápmi and her family's reindeer-herding traditions. Her music often explores themes of cultural heritage and identity, blending traditional elements with contemporary influences. As a prominent figure in Sámi music, Ánnámáret continues to innovate and share her unique cultural perspective through her ensemble's performances and recordings.
